The mysterious disappearance of a number of banners and posters advertising upcoming events in Hungerford.
Signs advertising local schools events, Hungerford’s Food & Antique Markets are among those to go missing over the past week.
CCTV is currently being reviewed.
If anyone has these items or know where they are, please may you advise Hungerford Town Council so they can be returned to their rightful organisations.
Thank you HTC

Just an update from us…
Thank you.
We are overwhelmed and totally blown away by everyone who has reached out with ideas and research about how we can keep the cows safer.
Please don’t stop messaging us with anything you may see that could help.
A LOT of work is currently happening in the background.
Ultimately, we’ve realised that we can’t do this alone. We’re going to need that Hungerford ‘community spirit’ to come alive and we’ll have more news soon.
But from everyone at The Town and Manor (especially Pip the Herdsman) … THANK YOU!!

It is with great sadness we have learnt of the death of General Sir Mike Jackson GCB, CBE, DSO.
Sir Mike, a proud Hungerford resident, passed away surrounded by his family, yesterday evening, aged 80.
The Town Hall’s Union Jack, will be flown at half-mast as a sign of respect to Sir Mike Jackson and all he has done, not only for Hungerford, but for our Country.
Below a recent picture of Sir Mike, Constable Julie Lloyd and Mayor Helen Simpson, at the recent D-Day Parade.
Our thoughts are with Sir Mike’s family at this sad time.

Thank you to Meridian News for asking to come and meet the cows this morning.
All of us at The Town & Manor would also like to thank everyone for their suggestions of how to make the common a safer place.
Every comment has been read, noted and will be discussed.
Nothing will change overnight unfortunately, but with the support that the people of Hungerford, we’re positive that the future is bright for the cattle!
They will be leaving the common shortly for winter so enjoy your last few walks among them!

🐄 IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN 🐄
Yet another animal hit by an irresponsible driver who could not be bothered to inform us.
The bits are from a “transit” type of van.
These are only the big bits. The glass and smaller pieces are spread over 50 metres!
The collision was on the kintbury end in the direction of the cattle grid. We will obviously be keeping an eye on the poor animal which is now very lame and separated from the herd.
So the public are aware, the cow that was hit is number 40 with the blue tag.
The police have been informed.
The cows are due for some tests this week and then will be being moved away from the common in the next few weeks.
The reflective collars are being looked in to ahead of next year, but unfortunately- the research isn’t as promising as it may appear.
This is the worst year we have had with the cows and options will be being looked in to.
Thank you for your continued support.
